Sigh. The cute girl I was emailing with, in San Francisco (who moved from Seattle and knows people I know), had said "looking forward to meeting you when you're in town!" And I wrote back all "cool, this is when I'm in town/free" and....she never wrote back. And after about five days, I finally emailed her again just to not give up and said something else. Today (a couple days later) she wrote back and was all "Oh, somehow I missed your first message. I have had the flu the past two days so I probably couldn't have met you anyway".
Gee, thanks. I feel fat and ugly and like no one will ever want to date me.
Aww, meara. You are gorgeous and awesome and that girl doesn't know what she's missing!
::feels meara::
Fat? Nope. Ugly? Nope. I don't know who you're feeling, honey, but its not our meara.
Then possibly I am not fat and ugly, and just INSANE IN THE BRAIN, such that no one likes me. ARGH.
psst... meara's a babe.... and as sane as I am.
I'm feeling pretty fat and ugly and toxically undesirable, too.
Sean and meara, I'm sorry to hear that you are both feeling so down on yourselves. A pox on them that made you feel that way.
It's okay, meara bb, repulsively unpartnerable singletons unite @@.
And just to think--if I could fall in love, I could trump this pesky chronic pain thing.
To hotties think they are not? What is up with the world? Is this the climate change Al Gore spoke of? Pox on those that made you two feel that way. And hugs to both of you. You are both wonderful, beautiful, intelligent people.
